Product Description

What is Flirc?

Flirc allows you to pair any remote control with your computer or media center. Just walk through our super simple cross platform pairing application, and you're done. Use your previously paired remote with no additional software on any machine with Flirc.

Flirc: Tiny but Simple

The USB Flirc makes it easy to control your devices.

It even adds functionality to devices that ship with overly simplistic remotes.

Plug it in. Set it up. It just works.

usb harmony fire tv raspberry pi

The USB Flirc works anywhere with anything

The Flirc can be set up to work with virtually any box that has a USB plug, from the Raspberry Pi to the Fire TV to a gigantic Windows Media Center.

While its primary use is with Media Centers and Set Top boxes, you can pair it with virtually any remote control and any box/computer, which means it even works for advancing slides while giving presentations from your laptop or navigating a webpage from across the room.

With a little elbow grease, you can actually use one to launch applications, start up games, and put your PC to sleep.

Universal Remote Support

If you have a universal remote, there is almost certain a USB Flirc profile available to work with. And if not, you can program a universal remote to work with the USB Flirc just like any other remote might.

Plug n Play

Once you've paired your Flirc and remote with the software, you can keep using the two across computers, laptops, and other devices, no software necessary. Just unplug the Flirc from your computer and plug it into your Shield or Pi. It will continue to "just work."

Compatible with

  • Raspberry Pi
  • NVIDIA Shield
  • Fire TV (with USB ports)
  • Windows, Mac, and Linux
  • All IR remotes, including universal remotes with profiles

Works great. Very versatile. Poor documentation.
5 Stars
Works great. Very versatile. Poor documentation.
This was easy to install and setup once you find the download source. I can’t believe that a company would ship a product with zero information. A simple note or QR Code leading to their website for download or documentation would be helpful. Be sure to select the controller from drop down menu. I use "Full Keyboard" with EventGhost. You and use key combinations CTL - # or Ctrl - Alt - #.
